JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - When murderers Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker were released from prison on forged documents in September and October, police were already actively investigating another failed escape attempt.

FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey told lawmakers that Jeffrey Forbes was caught in May trying to use forged paperwork.

"Documents were actually generated, constructed within the walls of the prison," said Bailey.
